Excessive torsional vibrations from marine engine shafting systems can be reduced by using torsional vibration dampers. But in order to be tuned effectively, the dampers should be designed through the optimum design procedure. In this paper, the procedure to get the optimum values of system parameters of spring-viscous dampers using effective modal mass of inertia and stiffness is suggested and the damping is determined by the exact algebra optimization method. The validity of the suggested method is confirmed through the application to a 1800 kW four cycle diesel engine and generator system.

Viscoelastic dampers have been successfully applied to building structures for reduction of vibration induced by wind or earthquakes. But accurate estimation of responses of building structures with viscoelastic dampers is very difficult, because the properties of viscoelastic damper is dependent on temperature and frequency of vibration. For efficient control of building vibration, required damping of viscoelastic damping device need be estimated and dynamic analysis method which can estimate the response of building structure with viscoelastic damper system is indispensable. In this paper, an efficient dynamic analysis method of a building structure with viscoelastic dampers is proposed. Efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method are verified comparing analytic results with shaking table test results using reduced building models.

The energy dissipation or damage prevention capability of structure can be greatly enhanced by employing hysteretic dampers. According to recent studies by the authors, the ratio of hysteretic damper stiffness to structural story stiffness has been identified as one of the most important parameters for characterizing the performance of this damper In this study the method for determining appropriate properties of hysteretic dampers to satisfy the given performance objectives is developed based on the concept of capacity spectrum method. The comparison with the results from inelastic time history analysis proves that the hysteretic dampers designed from the proposed method restrains the displacement well within the target displacement.

Over the past few decades, seismic retrofitting of structural systems has been significantly improved by the adoption of various methods such as FRP composite wraps, base isolation systems, and passive/active damper control systems. In parallel with this trend, probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) for structural and nonstructural components has become necessary for risk mitigation and the achievement of reliable designs in performance-based earthquake engineering. The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect on piping fragility at T-joints due to seismic retrofitting of structural systems with passive energy-dissipation devices (i.e., linear viscous dampers). Three mid-rise building types were considered: without any seismic retrofitting; with distributed damper systems; with optimal placement of dampers. The results showed that the probability of piping system failure was considerably reduced in a Multi Degree of Freedom (MDOF) building retrofitted with optimal passive damper systems at lower floor levels. This effect of damper systems on piping fragility became insignificant as the floor level increased.

One of the most promising semi-active devices proposed for structural control is magnetorheological fluid (MR) dampers. While many researches are making too much of application to structural control, few of papers are considering how to design the MR dampers having good performance. In this paper, the sub-optimal design procedure for MR dampers is presented. This paper shows that an MR damper having the capacity of about 5,000 N is designed according to proposed procedure, as an exmple.

This paper focuses on the post-earthquake serviceability of steel arch bridges installed with three types of seismic dampers suffered mainshock-aftershock sequences. Two post-earthquake serviceability verification methods for the steel arch bridges are compared. The energy-absorbing properties of three types of seismic dampers, including the buckling restrained brace, the shear panel damper and the shape memory alloy damper, are investigated under major earthquakes. Repeated earthquakes are applied to the steel arch bridges to examine the influence of the aftershocks to the structures with and without dampers. The relative displacement is proposed for the horizontal transverse components in such complicated structures. Results indicate that the strain-based verification method is more conservative than the displacement-base verification method in evaluating the post-earthquake serviceability of structures and the seismic performance of the retrofitted structure is significantly improved.

The effectiveness of fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) on dynamic response mitigation of coupled two adjacent structures was investigated, considering soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects under earthquake excitation. A numerical procedure was employed to evaluate system response. The finite elements were used for the numerical treatment of the adjacent buildings and soil region. Viscous boundary conditions were used as special non-reflecting boundaries on the edges of finite soil region. According to the results, the FVDs were found to be very effective for dynamic response mitigation of the adjacent buildings, even if considering the soil medium. The results showed that the most affecting parameter on the system response was found to be soil type. It was also concluded that when adjacent structures coupled by FVDs, the maximum values of the roof displacements, the base shear forces, and the base bending moments could decrease up to around 50%. Changing in lateral stiffness of the one building has minor effects on the effectiveness of viscous dampers.

The objective of this paper was to discuss the seismic performance of hybrid FRP-steel reinforced concrete shear wall with replaceable friction dampers at the feet of the wall. The hysteretic characteristics of five wall specimens were studied by pseudo-static loading tests. The results showed that the damage of the specimens was concentrated on the friction dampers, and the energy consumption capacity was increased while making up for the defect of low ductility of FRP reinforced wall specimens. And the repairability of the wall after earthquake was improved. Finally, a calculation method of initial stiffness of shear wall with replaceable dampers was proposed.

휨거동을 하는 전단벽을 대상으로 동일한 총 단면적을 갖는 1개의 전단벽과 마찰형 감쇠기로 연결된 전단벽의 내진성능을 수치해석을 통해 비교하였다. KBC 2005 설계스펙트럼을 근거로 축소 조절한 7개의 지진파를 입력하중으로 마찰형 감쇠기가 설치된 전단벽의 평균응답을 분석하였다. 마찰형 감쇠기의 중요한 설계변수인 기준 마찰력인 슬립하중은 각층의 마찰형 감쇠기 위치에 생기는 수직방향 전단력의 총합의 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90%값으로 하여 슬립이 특정한 층에 편중되지 않도록 하였다. SeismoSturct 프로그램을 이용해 비선형시간이력 해석을 수행하여 밑면 전단력, 에너지 소산량, 1층 벽체곡률, 최상층변위 측면에서 마찰 감쇠기의 제진성능을 분석하였다. 기준마찰력의 30%이하 수준의 총 마찰력을 갖는 마찰 감쇠기가 우수한 제진성능을 보였다.

이 연구에서는 국내 아파트 건물의 주요 횡력저항시스템인 전단벽식 구조를 대상으로 제진장치의 적용 가능성을 검토해 보았다. 연구목적 달성을 위하여 ASCE/SEI 7-10 제진구조물 설계방법을 현재 설계 중이거나 이전에 설계된 4개의 대표적인 전단벽식 아파트에 적용하여 내진성능 확보를 위하여 요구되는 제진장치의 성능에 대하여 조사하였다. 연구결과, 전단벽식 아파트에 제진장치를 이용하여 내진성능을 확보하기 위해서는 탄성강성이 높은 전단벽의 영향으로 인하여 제진장치의 강성이 매우 커야 함을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 높은 강성의 제진장치는 현실적으로 구현하기 매우 어려울 수 있으므로 전단벽식 건물에 제진장치를 설계할 때 주의하여야 하며, 벽량이 많은 전단벽식 건물의 경우 강재이력형 제진장치의 적용에 한계가 있는 것으로 판단된다.
